650 is enough, 850 will allow for future upgrades and is a good choice. I would recommend not getting that processor it's just a overclocked 8350 with a massive 220 Watt power draw. Buy a 8350 and overclock it some yourself.
If this is for gaming I would change your whole build to a i5 4690K processor with a GTX 970 card for the same price your paying for what you picked and get a lot better performance.

Your choices for the 9370:

ASRock 990FX Extreme9
ASRock 990FX Extreme6
Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z
Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0
Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 R4.0
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7
MSI 990FXA-GD80V2

AMD.COM

Warning: This power draw of this CPU is almost twice that of the average CPU. Due to this, AMD recommends using at minimum a 1000W power supply. For cooling, AMD recommends using either either closed loop liquid cooling or full system liquid cooling.
